Acorn Squash & Apple Pizza

Going to bed at 8 am and getting up at 1:30 pm makes for a very weird day. Regular food blogging shall return tomorrow!

Originally, I was planning on just throwing together a quesadilla or something for dinner, but I decided that I would feel better if I actually cooked a real meal on my first night back home.

I’ve been wanting to participate in Blogger Secret Ingredient for awhile now, so I decided that this was the week to finally submit a recipe. Megan is hosting this week’s contest, and the secret ingredient is…. acorn squash.

And so, without further ado, here is my recipe for

Acorn Squash and Apple Pizza

Ingredients:

1 acorn squash

1 small yellow onion

3 small apples

1 pizza crust of your choice

3 oz. goat cheese

1 oz. gorgonzola

5 T. plus 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp. sugar

Salt, pepper, and cinnamon

Instructions:

Prepare your pizza crust. I had this mix I needed to use up, but a handmade crust would work just as well.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Start by cutting the acorn squash in half and scooping out the seeds and stringy insides. Remove the skin.

Acorn squash is delicious by itself–I can only imagine how great it would be on pizza! I’m going to give this recipe a try, but I think I might use butternut squash instead since I’m in love with it. Thanks for the recipe!
